8 su dieci sono disponibili nella Team Suite (3 nella Database, 3 nella Developer, 2 nella Tester) e 2 nella Pro… un bel colpo I have started using Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) 2008, recently. Previously I worked with Visual Studio 2005. As a matter of fact I had to use lots of external tools to perform and speedup my development process. However, while working with VSTS 2008, it's very exciting for me that, I found replacements for most of the external tools there. Here are 10 tools which I left...

Si direbbe che Yoda avesse proprio ragione guardando questa meraviglia: 99$ per sviluppare e distribuire soluzioni basate sul Micro Framework… quasi quasi chiamo Raf e mi faccio fare un corso veloce… GHI Electronics just announced the USBizi system. It's VERY small and only $99 in QTY-1. Nice work and congratulations to the team at GHI! I can't wait to see what people will do with this!

E qualcuno sa perchè… Today’s Dilbert described one of the most challenging problems small consulting companies face. I’m sure Jon, Micah, and I remember experiencing this many times when trying to build and expand Veloc-IT (though Micah probably still gets the pleasure of dealing with this as he’s still chugging along).

Devo ancora considerare bene i pro e i contro di aggiungere un nuovo livello di certificazione a quelli già presenti. La cosa interessante è che non basta più solo passare degli esami. The Microsoft Certified Master (MCM) program was announced this week at Tech-Ed in the US. The public URL is now live and all the information can be viewed here http://www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/master/default.mspx Fonte: New Microsoft Certification Tier

Se ne facessero uno anche per la coca light sarei un uomo felice… An important skill – being able to order a beer in many languages. I’ve just found a neat little PDF called Beer_please.pdf . Fonte: How to order a beer in 26 languages

Visto che non rispettava la regola della pubblicazione del codice sorgente: Over the past 24 hours, it was brought to our attention that one of the Microsoft projects hosted on CodePlex did not publish its source code. As a result, we removed the project. We’re working with the project owner to find the right release avenue for this project. Fonte: Removal of “Sandcastle” Project Probabilmente il posto più giusto è la Visual Studio Gallery… come spiegato qui.

Ecco un altro tool molto comodo da aggiungere all’arsenale che uso durante le migrazioni: …How to save all my passwords for networks and all certificates. Digging a bit deeper I found a way to do it, by using command line prompt. “netsh wlan show profiles” will show you all wireless network profiles in your system ”netsh wlan export profile name=”name” folder=”folder”” will export each profile to xml file (you can also run...

Io ci sto facendo un pensierino… doppia SIM… un solo cellulare… un sogno!!! E-TEN was awarded the Best Choice of Computex accolade for its new Glofiish DX900 – the world's first dual-SIM & dual standby Windows Mobile handset to support HSDPA and EDGE. The DX900 allows users to have uninterrupted access to two separate phone services, for example one for business and one personal, or one for calls and another for data, in a single device. The press release also confirms some specs: a VGA screen,...

Ogni anno ai vari TechEd ripeto che Rafal è il miglior speaker che abbia mai visto, e riesce a rendere interessante anche gli argomenti a me più ostici, come in questo caso il Data Mining e la BI: In Data Mining and Business Intelligence for Enterprises, Rafal Lukawiecki aims to show IT Professionals how data mining can be used in IT infrastructure to support real business scenarios demystifying the perception that Data Mining is complex, untested or only for specialists. This has become possible since Microsoft has taken the technology to new levels making it accessible to all. In...
